Gosto de seu nome EuSouScott! Muito legal de usar seu portugues!
Dude,
I have the hardest time with this too. I am pretty forgiving of the regular members in sacrament talks with this, but have a harder time when stake leaders ramble on during sacrament talks. They get a lot of practice and should know better.
😆 Last HC speaker went on and on about how there is not excuse for missing home teaching. Tearing into the ward hard core over it. If he can’t find a reason, we can trade lives for a month or two and see how he does. I think he might find a few reasons. Not saying I can do better at his life than he can, but I am not at the pulpit passing judgement. I like HT, but I can’t always simply make time. This talk was a big challenge for me. I have little tolerance for leaders that don’t preach with understanding and compassion. This hits on the culture problem that many of you talked about in this thread.
Should we HT? No doubt, but to pound the pulpit telling your audience that they are excuse makers and that all they have to do is simply make the time. I was pissed after Sacrament. I fought that emotion, and made it back the next week.
😆 Still drives me nuts though. Would have liked a more spiritually edifying talk. I do realize work is required on my part too, to not be so judgemental on speakers as well. It is a challenge. I find myself rolling my eyes too often.😆 EuSouScott wrote:SilentDawning,
Thank you for sharing. Your comments help me remember on of the Thoughtful Faith podcasts with Adam Miller where he talks about his unpublished book “Letters to a Young Mormon”.
EuSouScott:
Adam’s unpublished book “letters to a Young Mormon” is now Adam’s published book. Came out about 3 weeks ago. About $9 on Amazon (US). I haven’t ordered it yet, but I will. Thanks for the head’s up about the podcast — I didn’t know it existed and will listen to it this week.

Thanks for the heads up. I’m going to grab a copy ASAP!
